gptfdisk-1.0.1

Introduction to gptfdisk

The gptfdisk package is a set of
programs for creation and maintenance of GUID Partition Table (GPT)
disk drives. A GPT partitioned disk is required for drives greater
than 2 TB and is a modern replacement for legacy PC-BIOS
partitioned disk drives that use a Master Boot Record (MBR). The
main program, gdisk,
has an inteface similar to the classic fdisk program.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.10
platform.
